15

National Telecommunicator’s Week is April 11 - 15. This week is
recognized yearly for the tireless service provided by 911 call takers
and dispatchers nationwide who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to
provide emergency, as well as non-emergency assistance to each citizen
who calls. In Fairfax County, the 911 center is located at 3911 Woodburn
Road in Annandale.

On Friday, April 15, from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., the Fairfax County 911
Center will be holding an open house for the citizens of Fairfax County.
Residents are encouraged to stop by and see the 911 center in action and
tour the facility. At 2 p.m., Fairfax County will hold an awards ceremony
to recognize 911 center employees, in various categories, for the
excellence they display on a daily basis.

Members of the media are invited to visit the center during the open
house and awards ceremony and meet the exemplary county employees who
dedicate each day to provide professional service to the citizens of
Fairfax County.
